My english is not enough to speak and ask precisely, so please try to interpret what I would like to ask.
I'm not involved in hardware, I'm involved in software only, and I'm a (not so power) user of EP.
How it is turned out (we belive it now), most of the Nick chips have a "bug".
Because of this "bug", the picture can have flashing pixels at specific places of the screen in specific video modes. We call the thing simply "Nick bug", but we know nothing about this thing in the details. Maybe it is not a bug, but something else. The "Nick bug" is a nickname only ...
So that would be a great thing, that somebody could make some new Nick chips, without the bug.
Replacing the chip probably would be possible. I did not see a succesful replace till now, but a few people says it is possible.
So whether how much work can be the reconstuction of a chip like Nick ? Is it possible in only a few instance ? Or would it be too expensive, or too much work ?
I know nothing about this.
Every notion would be welcomed.
